My Project

I currently have a small area of my room that is called the "Reset Spot". I know that my kindergarten students need a better area to calm down when they are having big feelings.

The Calm Down Corner bundle will provide an area in my classroom for my students to visit when they are upset or just need a break from learning for a moment.

This is important for Kindergarten students in a full day K classroom. Each day my students go through ups and downs.

Having a designated inviting area in the classroom will benefit them all day long.
